What is a Video Analytics System (VAS)?
The Video Analytics System (VAS) is a core government platform designed to transform how public agencies derive actionable insights from video content. It serves as an advanced AI video analysis platform, providing ready-to-use capabilities for quick project deployment.
AI-powered video analytics software
GovTech’s VAS is an AI video analytics software that leverages advanced AI algorithms to efficiently process and analyse large volumes of video footage. It automatically monitors, analyses, and extracts real-time insights from diverse video data, moving beyond traditional manual review.
This powerful video analytics software transforms how government agencies utilise video data. It enables efficient video surveillance, pattern detection, and anomaly identification, supporting timely decision-making and significantly enhancing operational efficiency in Singapore.
The growing challenge of video data overload
The volume of video data collected daily has grown exponentially, making traditional, manual monitoring unfeasible and unproductive. Public sector agencies now face significant challenges in extracting timely insights from these massive datasets.
To overcome this, GovTech developed the Video Analytics System (VAS). It harnesses the power of AI video analysis algorithms to monitor, investigate, and extract real-time insights and trends from vast amounts of video data, transforming an overwhelming challenge into actionable intelligence.
Why use VAS for video analytics in Singapore?
Designed for government agencies, VAS improves operations by enabling rapid deployment of video analytics projects. Agencies can effortlessly integrate their video feeds with data from across the Government on Commercial Cloud (GCC) ecosystem, leveraging existing AI video analytics software and algorithms.
This streamlined approach allows agencies to quickly harness video intelligence. Notably, VAS was a key enabler for the National Parks Board, facilitating safe distancing at public parks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Why is video analysis important?
AI video analysis is vital for Singapore's public sector, delivering transformative benefits. This powerful video analytics software automates data review, enables real-time monitoring, and enhances accuracy and resource optimisation.
Its suitability for public sector needs is evident in applications like crowd monitoring, safety compliance, and anomaly detection. Furthermore, GovTech's video analytics solutions ensure stringent compliance with the nation's data security and privacy regulations, promoting responsible use for public good.
Extract insights from video data - Automate the analysis of videos collected during trials, proof of concepts and pre-analysis work.
Unlock time and cost savings - With the need for manual analyses now reduced, you can focus on other higher-level tasks.
Greater flexibility - You can develop your own VA models for custom use cases and still maintain operational flexibility.
Key features and capabilities
VAS offers robust features and capabilities designed to address the challenges of vast video data, providing robust AI-driven video analysis to meet the needs of the public sector.
Deepfake detection
Have doubts about the legitimacy of videos or images that have been circulating? VAS leverages advanced AI to detect synthetic media, providing a crucial capability for public officers to analyse videos and images for signs of manipulation, thereby enhancing data integrity across the government's digital assets.
Real-time anomaly detection
VAS provides the ability to detect unusual events or behaviours instantly across vast video feeds. This real-time AI video analysis capability allows agencies to identify critical incidents as they unfold, enabling swift response and proactive intervention in various operational contexts.
Scalable cloud-based analytics
VAS is built on a resilient cloud infrastructure, ensuring high scalability and reliability. This design enables the efficient processing of exponentially growing video data volumes, supporting a wide range of video analytics projects and providing seamless performance and flexibility for government agencies in Singapore.
Use cases of VAS in action
VAS is actively deployed across various government agencies, demonstrating its tangible impact in real-world scenarios.
Analysing the health of rotifers
For aquaculture, understanding rotifer health is crucial. Incorporating AI in phone cameras accurately counts and identifies various rotifer classes.
Keeping our air smoke-free
VAS can help detect smoking in undesignated public places. This triggers alerts for the National Environment Agency (NEA) to take necessary measures.
Enhancing public safety and crowd management
During the COVID-19 pandemic, VAS was deployed for crowd management and safe distancing monitoring in public parks.
Expediting mosquito larva identification
To combat mosquito-borne diseases, AI video analysis helps identify mosquito larva species in samples, for more effective public health efforts.

Frequently asked questions about Video Analytics System (VAS)
What AI video analysis features and capabilities does VAS support?
VAS supports a range of advanced AI video analysis capabilities. These include real-time anomaly detection, deepfake detection, and scalable cloud-based analytics. The system uses algorithms to efficiently process video data, extract insights, automate tasks, and enhance data integrity for government agencies.
Can VAS integrate with existing government systems and platforms?
Yes, VAS is designed for seamless integration within the Whole-of-Government (WOG) ecosystem. Agencies can upload their video data or connect to shared video sources within the Government on Commercial Cloud (GCC). Findings can also be exported or directly integrated into existing agency workflows.
What are the hardware or software requirements to use VAS?
As a WOG platform leveraging cloud infrastructure, VAS primarily requires Whole-of-Government credentials for access. While specific hardware or software requirements are minimal on the user end, agencies would typically need standard internet access and the necessary permissions to connect their video sources to the GCC ecosystem. This enables flexible deployment without requiring infrastructure support.
How does video analytics work?
Video analytics works by using advanced algorithms and machine learning to systematically monitor, analyse, and manage large volumes of video data. The system digitally processes video inputs, transforming raw footage into intelligent, actionable data. This helps government agencies to efficiently detect patterns, identify anomalies, and support informed decision-making based on extracted insights and trends.
